PROFESSIONAL PROFILE

I am a Project Director specialising in EPC delivery and engineering leadership for offshore wind and complex energy infrastructure projects. I provide end-to-end technical and commercial oversight, supporting developers, EPC contractors, and investors across Europe, the UK, and the USA.

Renewable Energy & Emerging Technologies

As Principal of ReNova Energy Solutions, I deliver strategic, technical, and commercial leadership on large-scale offshore wind developments and high-voltage infrastructure. I have recently led engineering and delivery on major offshore substations including Bałtyk 2 & 3 (1,440 MW, Polish Baltic Sea) and Inch Cape (1.1 GW, UK North Sea), managing full EPC scopes from detailed design through fabrication and integration.

My work spans HV GIS integration with leading OEMs, topsides platform delivery, subsea cable interfaces, and compliance with European TSO requirements. I focus on FEED optimisation, constructability, and execution strategy — consistently improving schedule certainty, reducing cost, and strengthening delivery performance.

In parallel, I develop modular substation and power system solutions for data centres and Battery Energy Storage Systems, integrating civil, electrical, and commercial frameworks to minimise interface risk and total installed cost.

Oil & Gas Infrastructure

I have held senior project and engineering leadership roles with TechnipFMC and Siemens, delivering complex electrical and automation scopes for LNG plants, gas processing facilities, and offshore production assets.

My experience includes full lifecycle delivery — from early-stage development and FEED through execution and commissioning — with strong focus on procurement strategy, contract management, and integration of HV, MV, LV, SCADA, and ICSS systems within large EPC programmes.

Marine & Offshore Engineering

My career foundation is in marine engineering and shipyard delivery, where I led electrical and power system integration for offshore vessels, FPSOs, and complex marine assets.

This includes propulsion systems, power generation, electrical distribution, and control systems, combined with hands-on experience in class approvals, fabrication yard execution, and offshore integration. I bring strong discipline in project governance, interface management, and claims resolution to ensure predictable delivery outcomes.

Value Proposition

I combine Project Director-level leadership with deep technical expertise and strong commercial acumen. This allows me to bridge the gap between concept and execution — reducing risk, improving constructability, and delivering complex energy infrastructure projects with confidence.
